Stock_Nitro Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Will MS be selling it anytime soon? EDIT: bit dissapointed they lost the 20mm Shocks that come with the Nitro kit EDIT2: Will this be a kit, the sale details on Wheelspin state that's it's part assembled, whereas the Nitro version on MS says kit...

Stock_Nitro Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) More details on the Hobao Website: http://www.hobao.com...fya1.php?id=119 Hyper Star-e is designed and built for serious competition. The rigid structure of the body keeps the car solid strong to withstand hardcore racing. Multi suspension geometry with 20MM big bore shocks provided the racers with lots of tuning options to suit their driving styles. Chassis is re-enforced with two longitudinal beams to give precise handling and to keep chassis flex to minimum. Aluminum motor mount, heat sink and radio tray are hard anodized with smooth and great looking finishing. <FEATURES> Pivot Ball Suspension The PBS is utilized to provide a smoother and more consistant steering over different track conditions. The pivot ball is made from aluminum with stainless steel thread end to withstand high impact turning and landing. Re-enforced Chassis Chassis is further strengthened with two longitudinal bars to make the structure rigid solid for precise handling and to keep chassis flex to minimum. CVD Front and rear CVDs are standard. The CVDs are CNC machined and heat treated to withstand the ever growing power of the brushless motors. Big Bore Shocks 20mm black anodized big bore shocks with multi geometry suspension settings provide racers with long lasting damping actions and lots of tuning options. Motor Mount & Heat Sink Both motor mount and heat sink are CNC machined and hard anodized for best fit and finish. <EQUIPMENT NEEDED> Motor Electronic Speed Control Battery Transmitter/Receiver/Steering Servo <SPECIFICATION> LENGTH 495MM WIDTH 305MM HEIGHT 190MM WHEELBASE 322MM TRACK(F/R) 305MM/308MM WEIGHT 2,500G EDIT: Looks like this may be a pre-production mock up as some of the detailing from the pics Garry posted have branding/naming on them. Still suggests it would be 20mm Shocks also. That aside, I think this looks to be a really, really good layout!

Gaz! Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just now, mydoddy69 said: Its an 8 year old post so more than likely now discontinued or replaced with a newer version probably the Hyper Vs Beat me to it. Using the the search function, you will find what’s popular and still has support etc. ebay is another good tool, type in the brand and model and see what comes up spares wise. old threads like this prove entirely how popular the car was, shame as it does sit very well in the shots....

Wasn't very popular compared to hyper 7 because it cost more same with the hyper 8 and 9 they gave up on them in the end and just produced the 7 forever instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered what it was that killed it off. I saw a brand new brushless Pro version on eBay (now sold) for around the £150 mark and was curious.

capri-boy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 What's interesting to me at least, is how far ahead of it's time this was. Rear motor bias... check out Hotbodies e817. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
